Silver Picture Frame, United States

Round, buttoned up in burgundy, and refusing to show anyone's face just yet.

This sterling silver picture frame from the United States is from the United States, and dates to the early 20th century. Frames of this period are often made with a thin sheet of silver over a backing, with a stand on the back so the frame sits on a table. Circular frame with a slim, plain yellow rim around a panel of wine-red watered cloth, its grain swirling in soft ripples. Two little ball feet at the base prop it upright on a table. It is 5 inches in diameter.

A quiet frame waiting for a face worth the wait.
